"This specific teaching resource facilitates student engagement with historical context for their visit to the VHEC’s Canada Responds to the Holocaust, 1944–45 exhibition. The guide complements class visits to the 90-minute interactive exhibit tour and workshop, and is divided in two pre-visit and two post-visit activities...The teacher’s guide includes activities, discussion questions, student study documents, primary documents suchas photographs and letters, a glossary, and recommended resources. The pre-visit activities introduce students to Jewish life in Europe and cultural loss through the Holocaust. The post-visit activities give students the opportunity to learn about Canada’s post-war immigration policies—especially in

regards to Jewish refugees—and elicit discussion about Canada’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis today." —Page 2
